New Service: Interface Evaluation (Usability Audit)

Interface evaluation is a fast, economical way to get concrete design recommendations for improving your web application.

Just a quick note to share a new formal service I’m offering at Bokardo Design: Interface Evaluation.

Here is the copy from the service description page:

Description of Service

Our interface evaluation is a fast, economical way to get concrete design recommendations for improving your web application. We start by talking with you about your business priorities and how design makes (or can make) your business successful. Then we conduct an in-depth evaluation your web application to make sure that your design is working effectively to do that. We evaluate your design on many criteria, including:

Social Design Best PracticesIs the reputation system appropriate? Are you taking advantage of social proof?

Our evaluation doesn’t just point out problems. We’ll deliver a concrete, prioritized list of recommended changes that your design team can implement immediately. For each recommendation, we’ll provide rationale along with examples of existing designs to model after (or avoid).

Who is this service for?

This service is for folks who:

Have complicated social interactions at the core of their web application.
